Pointing other domains to my server?

Hi so ive got Dyn Standard DNS Service and a Domain that works great.. now i wish to connect two other domains i have to my server... how do i do this?? Is it the nameserver change or do i need to get the Pro version?

"Pro version" of what? There is no Pro version of Standard DNS. Or better, there is no Pro version at all here.

In principle you do the same as with your existing setup again.

Register the two other domains if not already done.

Get a DNS hosting service for these domains, either two packages Standard DNS or one package Managed DNS Express. If the latter, you may also manage your first domain's DNS with this package to get rid of the existing Standard DNS package.

Change the delegation of the domains to the DNS hosting service(s); this is the nameserver change.

Alternatively, if a DNS hosting service already comes with your two other domains, you can also work with DNS CNAME records and/or webhops to point to your first domain, this again pointing to your network.

Edit:

The domains exist on another dns host. So does nameserver and cname change on them suffice?

Not sure if I understand you. What else would you think of to make it sufficient? It should be sufficient for "Pointing other domains to my server".

With the nameserver change (delegation) you get rid of the other DNS host, of course, and you would need to add or change Dyn services as outlined above. This comes with additional cost too.

The CNAME and webhop changes don't require anything additional as long as you can manage the DNS for your other domains/zones. However, this is the less professional solution and has a few limitations which may not be an issue in your case. I cannot know.
